In 2020, 8% of Canadians reported smoking daily and 2% reported smoking occasionally. In 2021, nearly 12 of every 100 U.S. adults aged 18 years or older (11.5%) currently smoked cigarettes. Smoke free is defined as having fewer than 5% daily smokers in the population. Do you think we will see the US and Canada be considered "smoke free" in the next decade? Yes
